All moved into new place modulo some drilling and mounting and Ikea assembly. Aging in the US can be measured by the replacement rate of Ikea furniture by next-level. By that measure, I'm like 30% old.

Interesting how apartment complexes, aka people clouds/datacenters, range from bare metal to lifestyle as a service. This place for eg. has far too little counter space and clearly needs an island, so away we go to Ikea to buy one...

A kitchen island for open-concept main living areas is kinda a must. Arguably a part of the bare metal level. But I'd rather have more square feet and no island than island, but less square footage.

But this means if you move a lot, you have to be prepared to do anything from just calling lambda functions to run your life (fully furnished/appointed) to building linux yourself (one or more key appliances missing... 3 apartments ago, we didn't have in-unit washer/dryer)

If indoor plumbing was plug & play : would disrupt a lot of housing tech. What's the housing equivalent of raspberry pi ....and no, it's not a tiny house.
